Below are 3 reasons why an employer might be overlooking you after seeing your LinkedIn profile ⬇ 🔺 You don’t have one! This is a red flag to many wealth management firms. 🔺 You have a photo that isn’t as professional as a hiring manager may want. Most firms are okay if you don’t have the suit and tie head shot, but your profile picture should still be presentable, as you would be potentially representing that firm. 🔺 You have a link in your resume to your LinkedIn profile that doesn’t work. This happens way more than you think. If you put a faulty link in your resume, hiring managers chalk it up to lack of care, or attention to detail.

Below is a great response we heard recently while interviewing a candidate ⬇ “What has been the most helpful piece of feedback you have received, that you have implemented?” We asked a Client Service Associate this question and they had a great, practical response. They shared, “I had a manager tell me that clients won’t read my long emails and to move away from paragraph form and to use headers and bullets in order to get responses or the follow up information that I need.” We loved this response simply because it was very specific and tactical. So many times we hear the cliché answers here. This candidate had the awareness to preface their response with “this is pretty specific to a task versus me as a professional, but it has greatly helped me.” For all you candidates out there interviewing, having a balance of your macro professional learnings AND tactical learnings that have helped you can make you stand out.

We have seen candidates reject an opportunity that meets their qualifications, and their compensation needs due to FIRM BIAS. Candidates often have preconceived notions around the larger firm and fail to realize that at the PRACTICE level, their most important criteria are being met. Our suggestion to a prospective candidate: have an open mind and be willing to make a small investment of time to hold a discussion with a hiring practice that meets your key objectives regardless of firm affiliation. After spending the time, then make an educated decision around your next career move, rather than automatically eliminating a growing practice because of what you may have perceived it to be!
